OKe TROJAN RIFTS IN THE CLOUDS FLIPPANCY MODERN CHIVALRY What care I, tonight? I’ll go my way, I’m free. You go the earth ways or air ways, What care I ? It’s little it matters to me. 0 would that youths today like olden knights Still rode their steeds to battles fierce To win a lady’s hand and overcome his plights And bravely faced a sword that might him pierce In arm, or thigh, or maybe bleeding heart. He rescued frightened maidens so distressed; What care I, tonight? I won’t be there to see If you win your fight or lose. What care I? It’s little it matters to me. Tonight, I'll cut the cords That held for years and years. You’ll hear no sigh with my goodbye; You’ll not find me in tears. And armor strongly built in every part Was worn on stalwart figure stately dressed. Hut carefree lads today in checkered suit Are driving ancient antiquated Fords To catch their favorite with just a toot, And masterpieces played on ukes in chords Are used instead of serenades of joy. Now cash not bravery endears a boy. —Maxine Lagle. What care I, tonight What you will do or be. I’ll tear my life from yours, And what care I ? It’s little it matters to me. Tonight, I see you go. Tomorrow brings a tear, And with a sniff, I wonder if We’ll meet again next year. EVOLUTION One day when I was very young In fact I was a freshman I dreamed I was a stately man Like all those Seniors in command. And as I leave this worthy school —Frances Cole. Where I have learned the golden rule And worked with head and hand and tool I find that I am still a fool. —Howard DeShazo and Harold Mercer.

The TROJAN EXPLORERS of (he ISOTHERMAL —Bill Pfautz At the end of each school year conies the call for the very best, the cream of the senior class, to try a flight to the greatest heights possible in high school life. This most honorable planet is called the National Honor Society, and only four or five seniors each year have the chance to ascend to it. It was discovered in 1900, and thirty-six of the 1,000 mountains (active chapters) on it represent the state of Kansas. The motto of this planet is represented by the letters S. L. C. C. Only when one is proficient in Scholarship (S), Leadership (L), Character (C), and Service (S) to the school, may he hope to attain the distinction of wearing the keystone and flaming torch. Those eligible for election to the space ship which carries the lucky ones up into the sky must be in the upper fifteen per cent of their class in scholarship. Secret ballots are cast by the ground crew (faculty) and the votes are counted by a committee, those few far ahead of the rest being elected. The charter members, or those who have been fortunate enough to merit this reward since the expedition was organized in the City of Troy are: Josephine Cole, Maxine Petterson, Rachel Donabauer, Winifred Leslie, and Robert McClelland, graduates of the class of 1931; Mary Ag- nes Hicks, Opal Moran, Paul Hodler, Paul White, and Boyd Finney, of the class of 1932; Elma Babbit, Florence Crown, Agnes Peden, Maxine Lagle, Wilma Rees, Martha McMahan, and Ralph Jordan, of the class of 1933. This year’s members are: Mary B. Miller, Dorothy McClan-ahan. Birdie Yocum, Rosella Bunch, Gerald Bassford, and Ruth McCall. The officers of the National Honor Society are: President .....................Mary Agnes Hicks Vice-president .......................Opal Moran Secretary .......................Winifred Leslie Treasurer ....................Rachel Donabauer On April 4, 1934, the six new members were initiated into the society. Mr. E. M. Chestnut, principal of the Beloit High School, administered the oath, to which the new members responded with the pledge of the society: I pledge myself to uphold the high purpose of the National Honor Society to which I have been elected; I will be true to the principles for which it stands; I will be loyal at all times to my school and will maintain and encourage high standards of Scholarship, Character, Leadership, and Service. Seven alumni were present at the ceremony. They were: Mary Agnes Hicks, Maxine Lagle, Wilma Rees, Agnes Peden, Paul Hodler, Paul White, and Boyd Finney.
